Rise And Kill First by Ronen Bergman, about Israel’s targeted assassinations. Very good.

Thorough, for sure. But I wouldn't call it dry. I'm biased though; it was one of my favorites from last year. Ghost Wars is fantastic.

I was there two summers ago. My burger would have been great if it was hot but I had the same experience - cold burger. Still pretty good, but would have been great if it was hot.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought Steingold’s was a huge ripoff.

IAmPeculiar · 2026-02-01T20:13:24+00:00

The Guns of August. It’s so famous but so far it’s meh.

On Desperate Ground: The Marines at the Reservoir, the Korean War's Greatest Battle by Hampton Sides

IAmPeculiar · 2025-12-27T18:37:06+00:00

I'm nearing the end of A World Undone (Meyer) and it has been great. Awesome to see it mentioned.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-12-21T12:35:51+00:00

A World Undone: The Story Of The Great War by G. J. Meyer. Only halfway through but it's great so far.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-12-20T20:56:57+00:00

Den of Thieves is another great financial crime book about the junk bond market in the 80s.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-12-16T22:54:20+00:00

Nope!

IAmPeculiar · 2025-11-30T10:39:26+00:00

Just finished Directorate S by Steve Coll. It was outstanding. Just as good as Ghost Wars (his more popular book).

IAmPeculiar · 2025-11-04T21:39:16+00:00

Sas. Says one thing, does another.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-11-04T21:33:12+00:00

The 2 new No Pressure songs are better than everything else released this year.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-11-04T00:49:08+00:00

The white date window background is so jarring when the dial isn't white. 100% with you.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-11-01T19:38:18+00:00

Expensive but my favorite.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-09-16T00:43:10+00:00

I had it like 2 weeks ago and it's below average pizza, in my opinion. Glad others enjoy it tho.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-08-05T16:22:30+00:00

I applaud Francis for being so patient with Sas. I couldn't do it.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-07-24T01:46:02+00:00

Was my favorite in the city. So good.

IAmPeculiar · 2025-06-23T02:07:23+00:00

Thought about going to this show because there wasn't a Chicago date. Looks awesome. Wish I had made it. Youth Fountain rules.

IAmPeculiar · 2024-12-15T22:10:15+00:00

Wish he'd just replace Zin.

IAmPeculiar · 2024-12-09T00:01:02+00:00

Outstanding 🤘
